#100HappyDays Challenge: Day 95 - Oreo Moons

Today I was teaching the phases of the moon. I got the kids to make diagrams showing the different phases in relation to the sun. We used Oreos as the building materials. I've never seen the kids so involved or working so fast. Of course the promise that they could eat their Oreo at the end may have had something to do with it. 

Here are some of the results:

This next group had some Oreo casualties ... victims to poor planning - they ended up with a large number of New Moons, ie one side with no icing. That happened because every kid decided - without consulting the other members of the group - that they would be the one to make the New Moon and hence licked the biscuit clean ...

And finally the instant my commendation was achieved ...

Going for the kill!
